Tag (You're It)

I aimlessly stare at these cubicle walls
I reflect on my life, the dullness of it all
Life is a dead end, no family, no friends
Another cog in the machine, will it ever end?
In the spur of the moment, the thought came to mind
A completely mad notion, to which I resigned
The thought filled my mind, I had to catch my breath
A game of cat and mouse, but a matter of life and death
I took off across this country, with you hot on my tail
The game is on now and I can’t afford to fail
A gun in my lap and it’s too late now to quit
As the words come to mind "tag, you're it."
This is a thrill that I’ve never felt before
It’s a stark contrast to my previous life, such a bore
I’m walking the thin line between life and the abyss
My blood’s pumping harder, with every shot that you miss
No time to look back, onwards I must go
How this all will end, I do not know
Only thinking in the moment, no room to breathe
I will bleed you dry, gonna leave you without reprieve
I ran across this country, with you hot on my tail
The game is on now and I can’t afford to fail
There’s a gun in my lap, too late now to quit
As the words come to mind "tag, you're it."
A glimpse in the mirror, a pedal to floor
I’d expect no less, I’d expect no more
My brow drips with sweat as the engine roars
I feel alive, what else could I ask for?
Yeah!
On the run for weeks, this ain’t no fairytale
I gotta keep moving, I can’t stay on rails
Never one to spend my time trying to make waves
My only motivation is a cold, shallow grave
Eventually I stop, nowhere else to go
In this remote town, with nobody that I know
Our guns are out the window, both raised high
‘Cause it’s now time to live or it’s now time to die
I ran across this country, with you hot on my tail
The game is underway and I can’t afford to fail
A gun in my hand, too late now to quit
As the words come to mind "tag, you're it."
And as I raise my gun and a breath I inhale
My last breath on earth should I fail
I think to myself, bereft of sadness
The most fun I had was born from madness
I ran across this country, with you hot on my tail
The game is over now and we’ve both failed, yeah
Two pools of blood, I realise this is it
As we both come to realise the game is forfeit
I’m cast back to those cubicle walls
I miss the cycle, the dullness of it all
No one will remember, no family, no friends
Another number in a book, this is the end

Dark Room

I sit alone in this windowless room
No light gets in, no sun, no moon
It gives me time to think as I sit in the gloom
Of why I can't get you out of my dark room
Your presence haunts me everywhere I go
What I did to you, no one can know
Manipulated, crushed, beaten, abused
You disappeared into my personal tomb
What have I done, what did I do
I ponder these thoughts within the walls of this room
Of why you linger, these thoughts of you
Will haunt me forever within my dark room
The memory still rings clear and true
As does this haunting ghost of you
I feel you following wherever I roam
I feel you within the walls of my home
I can't face what happened that night
Your bright, shining eyes once again cloud my sight
Nothing could have saved you, no stars, no moon
You slipped away, you disappeared into the gloom
What have I done, what did I do
I ponder these thoughts within the walls of this room
Of why you linger, these thoughts of you
Will haunt me forever within my dark room
What have I done, what did I do? (x4)

Insurrection
05:13
|

We crawl, we run, we fight, we bleed
These are necessary evils in our fight to be free
Many a bullet fired, and much blood on the ground
We're in too deep, no room to back down
We fight for those who fell victim to your evil
In the name of the fallen, we’ll call it equal
I’ll assure you, we won’t hold back
Your defences will fall under our relentless attack
Don’t test us
We’ll take you down
Don’t test us
We’ll destroy your crown
(X2)
You once ruled this city through misery and bloodshed
Well all that power must have gone to your head
We broke free of your shackles, you’ve no hope for redemption
Answer for your crimes, through our insurrection
This war rages on, in the streets
We push hard against you, and the blood runs past our feet
We no longer know, which sides blood soaks the floor
We've long since stopped caring, as we fight evermore
Don’t test us
We’ll take you down
Don’t test us
We’ll destroy your crown
(X2)
You once ruled this city through misery and bloodshed
Well all that power must have gone to your head
We broke free of your shackles, you’ve no hope for redemption
You will answer for your crimes, through our insurrection
To the doors of your citadel, our army will fight
We'll fight to the top, and for your crimes we'll indict
But there'll be no fair trials, no jury, no pretence
My gun will be the judge, and the bullet, your sentence
Don’t test us
We’ll take you down
Don’t test us
We’ll destroy your crown
(X2)
We'll never stop and we'll never relent
You can call us criminals but we'll never repent
Moving closer to the light, from the darkness we're free
Harness that fire, that rage and sing with me
Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! (Hey!)
Yeah!

Anti-Citizen
02:43

Grab your flag and hold it high
Pledge your allegiance, the time is nigh
Take to the streets with your head held high
Get your fists in the air, I wanna hear your battle cry
Out of the dirt, our army has arisen
Your people; no longer imprisoned
This is war now, you're with us or with them
So step up now, become an Anti-Citizen
You kicked us and beat us around like a dog
You spat in our faces as we lay on our back
What you didn't realise with each of your attacks
Is that if we’re dogs, we're dogs that bite back
Out of the dirt, our army has arisen
Your people; no longer imprisoned
This is war now, you're with us or with them
So step up now, become an Anti-Citizen
Through the blood and tears our army will rise
We’ll pay the ultimate price with our sacrifice
It’s time to pick a side, yeah it’s either us or them
So get up, grab your weapon, become an Anti-Citizen
